Clematis Viorna

Say good morning to Clematis Viorna aka the Leather Flower.


This sweet, nodding flower greeted us on the trail as we walked into the woods this morning. Isn't it lovely? A native vine, it's scarce in the lower mountains and I've never seen/noticed it at Penuel Ridge before today. It looks as if fairies might live inside its bell-shaped mouth.

I think you are right about fairies in residence here.
